Spring! It’s here! What a time to be alive and reading The Bingo Nugget! This month we had so much fun getting excited over the newness of everything around us. We have some new ads with the opening of Golden Valley Bingo, along with a familiar face as we welcome back Ivy Gutierrez as a Contributing Writer. Modern Mom is bringing you all of the fresh ideas to do with your kids during this season of renewal, with all of the recipes and games for you to try in between bingo sessions. With it being National Nutrition Month, we decided to give you some ideas and tips on how to include healthy habits in your nutrition and not have it be a big deal. Sit back, flip through the pages, and say “om.”
We are overwhelmed with the support from our Golden Bingo Family in the Rio Grande Valley with the opening of Golden Valley Bingo in Pharr, TX. We had over 200 people attend our soft opening for this exciting event. At the time of us going to print with the magazine, we have not yet had the Grand Opening, which is being held on Feb 21st and we are sure it will be an even more splendid night. We also held the much anticipated New Braunfels Bingo Raffle on February 1st! Thank you everyone for being patient while we worked out the event and the date details. It was highly attended and everyone had a great time. We also had a surprise for our players! If you had a raffle ticket, you walked away with a free box of Girl Scout Cookies, as well. We can’t wait to see what March brings us in the Golden Bingo Family. Remember to stay up to date on all pricing and hours of operation at your halls by going to our website or Facebook pages.

The Leaning Tower of Dallas Texas - Dallas can now boast a leaning tower of its own, after a failed implosion leaves a portion of the building standing. The Internet has quickly taken to it, naming it “The Leaning Tower of Dallas”, and comparing it to the Leaning Tower in Pisa, Italy. The implosion happened on Sunday after Valentines Day, when an old building Services

for
demolition. Lloyd Nabors, whose company is handling the demolition, said crews will use a wrecking ball to take down the remaining tower, which included the elevator shafts. Not everyone is happy with this plan. People have already started joking with the building, taking pictures of themselves “holding” the tower, similar to the popular photos that arrive from Pisa. There is even an online petition to “save this landmark from destruction,” noting, “if anything, do it for the memes.” At the time of us going to print, the petition has over 1100 signatures.

O ay SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster video game franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound -- human -- best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
65%
from Rotten Tomatoes
Rating: PG Genre: Action & Adventure, Comedy Directed By: Jeff Fowler Written By: Patrick Casey, Josh Miller
Critics Consensus: Fittingly fleet and frequently fun, Sonic the
Hedgehog is a video game-inspired adventure the whole family can enjoy -- and a fine excuse for Jim Carrey to tap into the manic energy that launched his career.

healthy living
Nutrition is important, but many of us - me included - do not make the best choices when it comes to giving thought to what we put in our bodies. With millions of dollars going into the health and nutrition industry most of us know what makes a snack healthy. The most common reasons why both men and women don’t eat healthy are preparation time and willpower. Quick and easy is generally what we go towards in our go-go-go lifestyles. It is easier to grab a granola bar as we walk out the door, than start cutting up an apple. But, did you know that not all granola bars are created equal? So, what can we do to make sure we fuel our bodies a little bit better, and it not be too complicated? Take baby steps and see the changes!
Plan (At Least Some) Meals.
Life is easier if you know, even a little bit planned out, what you’re making for dinner. Help yourself and take 5-10 minutes on the weekend to jot down some ideas of what your family might like to eat. This is especially useful if you have social plans, like a date with your best friend at a bingo hall. You can pick-up beef broth you need if you plan to make stew. You are more likely to defrost meat you have been keeping in the freezer if you know that you’re eating tacos for dinner. Turn on the crockpot in the morning so your evening runs smoother!
Always Have Eggs. Eggs are a great source of protein and are very quick to make. Seriously, whipping up some scrambled eggs is much faster than cooking pasta or ordering (and then waiting for!) pizza. 10
THE BINGO NUGGET // MARCH 2020
There is nothing wrong with eating “breakfast” for dinner, it’s a warm and healthy meal that’s done in a matter of minutes. Steam some frozen veggies in the microwave and pat yourself on the back!
Pick Your Snacks Before You’re Hungry. You know how they say one should not go to the store hungry? Well, that’s totally true. Sit down and look at what you normally grab for a snack? Don’t eliminate it entirely if you decide it’s not as healthy as you would like it to be. Look for a way to improve it. For example, if you like granola bars, maybe buy a more healthy kind, like a Lara bar.
If You Are Trying to Lose Weight, Look at the Caloric Density of Foods. Both grapes and raisins are a pretty healthy snack, but raisins pack a lot of calories and sugar in a really small package! That’s a great boost of energy for kids, but if you are an adult, especially if you are trying to drop a couple of pounds, not the best choice. Buy yourself some grapes and keep a bowl of washed (and dried) grapes in the fridge. When you feel hungry, go grab those. Reach for a bag of mini carrots instead of almonds!
Keep a Snack in the Car. Being hungry and in a hurry is bad enough when you are at home, but it is even worse if you are out of the house! Many fast food options are available, but few are healthy and even if they do have a healthy option… well let’s just say nobody goes to McDonald’s for salads, don’t they? Help yourself by planning ahead and keeping a snack in the car.
Cook Once, Eat Twice. Over cook. If you can, always over cook. What does over cook mean? No not burning your food or making it mushy but batch cooking to where you make double the amount of food so you can save for a meal the next day. Throwing some vegetables in the oven? Great, cut up more. Making a stew in the slow cooker? Wonderful, make way too much. Now, this may be a hard thing to do if you are feeding a large family. Obviously, the more people you have, the fewer the leftovers. But, see if you can do something to help yourself. Can you fit another pan of roasted vegetables on the lower rack?
Pack You Lunch The Night Before.
Now, speaking of that dinner that makes two meals… Well done, you! Let’s use that now. Pack your leftovers in a lunch sized portion for all family members the night before. This will not only save you money (no need to buy Whataburger tomorrow during the lunch break), but whatever you made is probably much better for you than any kind of meal you would normally pick up at lunch.
Be Mindful of Your Eating. You feel like eating that hamburger with fries, don’t you? Realize what your body wants, give it what it is asking for and see how you feel. Once we start listening to our body and taking note of how certain foods affect us, we usually realize that what we need and what we want are not the same things. And once we realize that, it is easy to decide to pick what we actually need more often than what we want. Maybe you have a friend that will share a portion of french fries from the snack bar with you, and then you can also add a salad to that order. Win-win!

MODERN MOM
HOW TO START YOUR
Indoor Herb Garden
So we’re stuck right in those couple weeks before spring when it can still be a little chilly outside. Need something to do with the kids on that chilly day ... start an indoor herb garden! The kids will love it and you can start incorporating the herbs into daily meals. Sounds like a win-win to me!
You will need: - Herbs (seeds of plants)
- Jars (mason, kerr, pickle, spaghetti sauce, coffee cans, teacups ... ANYTHING!) - Potting Soil - Soil Cover Rocks - Water Step One: Take your jars and fill the bottom 2-3 inches with the soil cover rocks. This is really important when planting in jars because it allows the water to seep into the rocks and prevents your plants and dirt from getting gross and moldy. Step Two: Fill the Jar about 2/3 of the way full with potting soil. I like to use Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil in jars – it’s just an extra protection for your plants. (If you are planting seeds, fill your jar up all the way, stick in your seeds, water and be done!) Step Three: Remove your herb from the container and crack the root (loosen the dirt around the root). Sometimes the herbs can come in biodegradable containers you can plant but take them out and crack the root. Step Four: Gently shove the herb into your jar! Step Five: Add more potting soil to the top. Pack it in there because when you water the herb the soil will settle. Step Six: Water!! If you look close you can see some seeping into the rocks… just like it is supposed too. 16

Just live life a day at a time. I know this can be hard for you, dear Pisces, but trust your gut. You have a lot to focus on in your life and it’s all great. You just need to be where your feet are, rather than wishing you were ten steps ahead of where you currently are.
Things are about to calm down in your life and you’re ready for it. There are less things to worry about and you’ll be ready to tackle the projects that really mean more, like your family. Listen to your gut during this time.
Friendship over love will be your focus this month. You’re not afraid to show the real you to people which will help when you’re on the hunt for new people to make contact with. You may feel more relaxed than normal, but don’t just assume everyone’s happy with you.
This March, it’s ok to be a little bit selfish, dear Gemini. Focus on the things that you may have ordinarily neglected because others told you that they didn’t matter. You can count on your determination to get you through this time.

Dear Cancer - now that it’s getting warmer your pockets want to get filled. You’re attracted to ways to get rich this month and you’re ready to work for it. If you continue on with the path you will be rewarded well.
Your life is being turned upside down and in the the best way possible. Have you felt like 2020 just came in like a freight truck? This is your time to reclaim your confidence and may even have a bit more love in your life and that’s never a bad thing.
Naturally, you are one of the hardest working people in your world, but this can lead to some problems during this time when people are calling you a workaholic. This stress can cause an impact on your health so take some rest days.
With the coming of spring you’re awakened in all aspects of life. March is bringing on a new spring in your step and you’re ready to tackle whatever comes your way. You’ve got nothing but peace and harmony in your home.

What a time to be alive and a Scorpio this March! You’ve been waiting ages for these moments and it’s time for you to take life to the fullest. Don’t forget about the relationships you’ve been working on during this winter.
You’re up to a lot of good times this month! You’re ready to get the party started with friends and family, the only downside - your communication skills are hurting this month and need people’s approval before you can get your way.
Stay alert this month! March is going to be a bit unsettling for you and you need to be prepared for the emotional roller coaster or it can throw you off your course. Focus on long-term goals and everything else will fall in place.
Alright, I hate to say this Aquarius but you’re in for a rough road this month with the people in your life. At first glance these issues may seem like you can’t figure out what to do and how to approach them, but with time you’ll find that it wasn’t as big of a deal as you thought.

1. In a small bowl, whisk together Beef Stir Fry Sauce ingredients and set aside. 2. In a wok, toast cashews on medium heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. 3. Return wok to high heat and add 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add beef and cook until brown and crispy, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Move beef to a side of the wok and add remaining sesame oil, bell pepper, zucchini and snap peas to the centre of the wok. Cook vegetables for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4. Add cashews, pour sauce and stir. Cook stir fry until vegetables are tender and sauce has thickened, about 3 – 5 minutes, stirring frequently. 5.

BUDGET FRIENDLY
H E ART RATE M ONI TORS The passing of February makes March the perfect time to learn about your risk for heart disease and how you could keep an eye on the warning signs for yourself. Across the United States we celebrate February as Heart Month. With the rising popularity of wearable technology, there are many heart rate monitor choices on the market. You probably want to make sure you get a good monitor that doesn’t break the bank because you want to invest the savings in your next game of bingo. Here’s a good list of heart rate monitors under $100!
FITBIT INSPIRE HR
XIAOMI MI BAND 4
GARMIN VIVOSMART 3
Fitbit Inspire HR is a friendly heart rate & fitness tracker for everyday activities that helps you build healthy habits. This encouraging companion motivates you to reach your weight and fitness goals and even enjoy the journey with 24/7 heart rate, workout features, calorie burn tracking, goal celebrations, sleep stages, and up to 5 days of battery life.
The Mi Band 4 has 50-meter water resistance and a 6-axis accelerometer, and Xiaomi has added a host of new workouts to the band’s activity tracking. It is now able to track outdoor running, treadmill, cycling, walking, weight training, and swimming.
The Garmin Vivosmart 3 is slim, very comfortable to wear, has a built-in heart-rate monitor and is fully waterproof. It’s loaded with extra features, including stress-level measurements, VO2 Max readings, and a rep counter. It shows notifications from your phone.
Amazon has this affordable tracker available for $35, but if you are willing to wait a little bit longer for an international delivery, you can find it even cheaper on Ebay!
We have seen the price for this device vary from $42 for a new one on eBay to $80 if purchased from Walmart, so make sure to shop around. At the time of writing this, Amazon had them for $55.
The price was recently knocked down to $80 from $100, but we have been able to find it at Kohl’s for $60, so we suggest you look there first! 28

WAHOO TICKR X
The Wahoo TICKR X is a heart rate monitor that works with a chest strap. It is intended for use on or offline with your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet device, or even your GPS watch. It can also capture indoor cycling cadence and treadmill workouts with the Wahoo Fitness app. Pricewise, this one seems to be pretty consistent at $80, but we have seen it for $50 at REI, so once again, be sure to shop around for the best deal.
JABRA SPORT PULSE Jabra Sport Pulse is a stereo Bluetooth headphone that’s not only sweat and rain-resistant but also has an integrated heart-monitor sensor. The heart-rate sensor is designed to rest against the bottom of the inside rim of your ear opening. Now that’s an interesting design! Pricewise, we have seen these pop up for anywhere between $26 to $51. When they first came out in 2004, they were going for $200, so that’s quite a change!
POLAR OH1 AMAZFIT BIP The Amazfit Bip has an array of features that allow it to stand out, including built-in GPS, water resistance, heart rate tracking, and battery life that stretches into weeks. It comes in 4 vibrant color options and allows you to receive emails, text messages, calls and app notifications on the watch display, This tracker used to run for $100, but the price has been officially knocked down to $80 and we have even been able to find it for under $70 at many places like B&H Photo Video or Best Buy.
Polar OH1 is an optical heart rate monitor that combines versatility, comfort and simplicity. You can use it as a standalone device or pair it with various fitness apps, sports watches and smart watches, thanks to Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity. The price varies between $60 and $80, depending on where you look.

Sakura
Seguin, TX 78155 | (830) 491-5383 Sushi was delicious and the portion/price was spot on. Really nice atmosphere and the service was great as well. Had the SOS and the Big Boy roll, both were ‘cooked’ option and they did not disappoint. Crab puff to start we also very good- wished the dipping sauce was something more exciting that just sweet and sour sauce but it still hit the spot. Will definitely be returning to try more rolls.

HaRU SUSHI
9503 Research Blvd. Ste 500 Austin, TX 78759 | (512) 795-8666 I’ve always believed sushi should be made simple to impress the masses. You wow your audience by the quality of the fish, and the skill of the chef. I believe Haru encompasses this. Don’t get me wrong, they have plenty of rolls to amaze Americans, but they also keep it simple for those who have a more traditional Japanese palate.

BEST SERVICE. Best sushi. Best experience. Everything was fast( which I appreciate, since I had my small children with me.) very knowledgeable staff, quality sushi, amazing customer service. I was so impressed with this place that I honestly prob said it at least three times during dinner. I’ve been in the service/food industry on different sides, so I have high expectations Tori B. 5.0 star rating 5/22/2019 Yelp Review
Ninja Japanese Cuisine
1800 Fm 359 Rd. Ste 180 Richmond, TX 77406 | (281) 239-2299
I honestly love Ninja, it’s one of the best sushi places I’ve gone to. Fave rolls are superario roll, ichiban roll, fireman roll. Sizes are big and the sushi rolls are all unique. However some rolls have same sauce-like the ichiban and 007 roll have same sauce, but the taste of the sushi are still distinct.

Games & puzzles Words go left, right, up, down, not diagonally and can bend at a right angle. There are no unused letters in the grid, every letter is used only once.
The rules of Sudoku are that you should fill a number into every cell in the grid, using numbers 1 to 9. The restriction is that you can only use each number once in each row, each column and in each 3 x 3 boxes.
